To tbs Editor Of the Eagle.
DEAR SIR:-There Is face OF the SUI
frage question presenting complications
that neither the Legislative Selons or short
haired prognosticators took note. As con-
ceded the female suffrage is conferred in
the election of municipal officers, only.
Justice of the Peace and Constables, are
not municipal but are state officers. 1t
will clearly not be lawful for a woman to
vote for constable or justice Of the peace.
What then? Why separate board and
double expense. SO decides Judge Bill
Mcdonald. city attorney OF Wellington,
and Bill is a cutter lawyer than the men
who made the law. AN OLD ONE.

Not a Dead Issue.

The Augusta Chronicle, commenting on
Secretary Lamar's speech at Charleston, in
which he alluded to Mr.. Calhoun's views
on free trade, said;
Free trade is dead issue. For all practical
purposes it is as dead as the institution of
slavery.
The Chronicle Is mistaken in this asser-
ton, and it is great misfortune for the
country that 1t is mistaken, A large ina.
jority OF the Democratic party-the party
OF which the Chronicle Is one Of the able
defenders-is In favor of "ultmate free
trade"
The Chronicle needs no evidence of this
except the uterances Of the leaders of its
party-men whom the Chronicle not only
National Republican., 1887-04-30

assists to put in Office, but sustains while
there. The party at Its national conven-
tion lodged the question, but It selected
men to. fill the offices it hoped to bestow
who were and are free traders. Some Of
these are polite enough to conceal their
views under euphemisms, such as "revenue
REFORM" ia tariff for revenue" but "ultl-
mate free trade" is the doctrine Of the
party.
Free trade will not be "a dead issue"
until the white men of the south who be.
lieve, with the Chronicle, that American
labor and capital should be protected, cease
to be frightened at phantom and unite
with the party that favors these views-the
Republican party.
The sooner this is understood the better
for the country.

The virginia Debt.

AS the representatives OF the British
holders Of Virginia bonds are now In that
state, In consultation with the committees
appointed by the senate and house Of rep
resentatives, and as the representatives of
the British bondholders are gentlemen of
high character and Intelligence, 1t may
fairly be supposed that some agreement
will be reached through which the credit OF
the state will be restored and the money
loaned to 1t, not only by foreigners, but by
citizens Of the state and of the United
States, will be secured aud finally paid to
them with a reasonable interest on 1t.
The Joint commission now considering
the question Of the Virginia debt should
take into consideration the poverty of the
state and the people, and the creditors
should not act the part of Shylock aud
demand "the pound Of 1esh," but agree to
such reasonable propositions, If such should
be made, as will secure in due time the re-
payment of all, or at least greater part Of,
the money due by the state.
The condition Of Virginia demands that
for the present the rate of interest should
be made low, but as there is every prospect
Of better condition, Of increased wealth,
OF large emigration, Of new mines being
opened, and new industries being started,
so that within few years Virginia will be as
prosperous and more wealthy than ever be-
fore, the creditors should be satisfied to Sc
cure low rate Of interest nova very low
rate, in faet-if by so doing they can assist
the state in recovering It's former prosperity
ard wealth, thus enabling it to pay all the
Gebts 1t owes
We believe that Sir Edward Thornton is q
man Of such ability that he can readily
understand the situation, and will agree,
upon the part Of the foreign bondholders,
TO any reasonable proposition.
We hope thecommittees appointed by the
Virginia general assembly are prepared to
submit reasonable propositions, and that
the credit of the state may be re-establlshed
through the meeting Of these commissions

True.
Acorespondent of the Augusta Chronicle
M ia Ia, frn,,, IVaobiputon

A correspondent Of the Augusta Chronicle,
writing from Washington, says:
A leading Louisiana congressman tells me
that the south is ripe for Il change, ana that
prosperity will break no the Democratic party
there. "The Republican party" said he, "may
carry Tennessee next year. East Tennessee
was largely Whig before the war. At the
time Of the war 1t furnished as many Union
soldiers in proportion to its population as any
part OF the north. The Republicans have been
rapidly gaining strength In the state, and If
it were worked in the same manner as Indiana
and Ohio are 1t would be Republican"
That is true, and so would North Caro-
lima, Virginia, and West Virginia be Re-
publican under the same circumstances.
Maryland would join the column, II any
system can be devised by which the grave
stones can be prevented from voting the
Democratic ticket, and it may be that the
action Of the courts, in sending some OF the
subordinate election thieves of Baltimore
to the penitentiary, will disfranchise the
gravestonGs.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN on Thursday
morning said that there was no danger to
the peace OF Europe on account Of the incar-
ceraticn Of schnaebeles, as Germany did not
want war, and the French rulers were not
prepared for it because It might make
Boulanger dictator. On Thursday even
ing the dispatches from Europe announced
that the difficulty between Germany and
France was about settled. Dispatches yes
terday announced that it was settled; so
that what the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN said
on Thursday morning might be taken as
prophecy, quickly realized.
